TOK Diary Tier 2

Build your TOK assessments
around the Knowledge Framework.

Both TOK assessments, guided so you understand how an examiner reads them — anchored on the four pillars of the Knowledge Framework and the twelve TOK concepts. Turn a prescribed title or an exhibition prompt into a real, second-order line of inquiry, then export your work as a Word document.

TOK Essay

Marked out of 10 · max 1600 words

Take one of the six prescribed titles, turn it into second-order knowledge questions, and build a balanced argument across your areas of knowledge — with sustained focus on the title, specific real-life examples, and evaluation of different perspectives.

TOK Exhibition

Marked out of 10 · commentary max 950 words

Pick one of the 35 official IA prompts, choose three specific real-world objects, and write a commentary showing how each object connects to the prompt — how theory of knowledge manifests in the world around you.

Anchored on the Knowledge Framework
Every piece of your work is examined through the four pillars — the same lenses examiners use.

Scope

What kind of knowledge is this, and what are its limits?

Perspectives

How do different knowers shape it? Whose view is missing?

Methods & Tools

How is the knowledge produced, and what counts as evidence?

Ethics

Who benefits or is harmed? Should there be limits?

The twelve TOK concepts run through everything:

Understand what a TOK examiner looks for
Not a generic chatbot — it checks your work against how TOK is actually assessed.
🧭

Second-order, not first-order

It catches the most common TOK mistake: treating a question as a fact about the world instead of a question about how knowledge is produced, justified or evaluated.

🗺️

Subject-group router

Pick your subject group (any of Groups 1–5 or History) and the tool surfaces the example knowledge questions for your area — every subject has a place in TOK.

🧱

Foundation check first

Your title and knowledge question (Essay), or your prompt and three objects (Exhibition), are verified as a sound base before you build on them.

🎯

Per-answer, never generic

Each answer gets three parts: what is incorrectly specified, what is required, and a hint — it never writes your knowledge question or commentary for you.

🖼️

Real objects, real provenance

For the exhibition it pushes you toward specific real-world objects with a time and place, each tied explicitly to your one chosen prompt.

📄

One-click Word document

Export your whole essay plan or exhibition — objects, images and commentary — compiled from your own work, with any unresolved issues flagged in red.
